The State of Osun All Progressives Congress APC has raised alarm over plot to kill the Minister of Interior Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
Osun APC sounded the alarm in a statement issued by the Abiodun Agboola the Publicity Secretary of the party in Osogbo on Tuesday.
He said, “We wish to inform the general public and security agencies in the State of a plot to kill the Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, by default by the state government sponsored political thugs”.
He revealed that the plan was to lay ambush for the Minister’s entourage and delve massive attacks on his way to visit Iwo Federal Constituency today.
He said the heinous plan which was hatched at the Okefia government house last night was to ensure that the Iwo federal constituency meeting is stopped.
According to him, “Sources revealed that the Governor Oyetola’s group were pained that the Minister escaped the assassination plot yesterday and are determined to make sure that he is hacked down today.
“The leadership of the Hon. Rasaq Salinsile led All Progressives Congress (APC) in the State of Osun therefore called on security agencies in the state to be proactive in designing a foolproof measure that will bring to naught, the evil plot by the Governor Oyetola’s group.
“We are reliably informed that some government officials, apparently acting on the directive of the governor met at the Government House till about 12am with the mandate to frustrate today’s meeting in Iwo by all means, including killing if it comes to that.
“Immediately after the meeting, our source said calls were put through to the government head thug to prepare his men very well for the execution of the evil plot.
“It would be recalled that Aregbesola escaped death yesterday when armed political hoodlums attacked his convoy at Orisunmibare, Osogbo.
“We are also reliably informed that plans are afoot by these desperate elements to clothe their thugs in Alhaji Moshood Adeoti’s T-shirts with the directive to attack members of the public and cause mayhem in town with a view to rope the gentleman aspirant in.
“We are therefore calling on security agencies to act professionally to nip the deadly plan in the bud.
“We also call on all men of goodwill across the state to plead with the Oyetola government from turning Osun into a jungle where all misunderstandings must be settled by violence.
“We note that things were not like this in eight years of his predecessor as Osun was credited with huge acknowledgement of peacefulness and tranquility”, he stated.
